Hi nickie - yep, I've talked to Mordaneus (he's the one that turned Lanilor into an ice sculpture, right?). I did figured out how to get down into the catacombs but I'm missing a key to open a gate so I came back up. I also talked to otho and just found Goemoe's healing shrine. I think I know what I need to do - we'll see

About the food - I found a piece of cheese in the well and also saw the rats. I thought I could catch the rats using the cheese (why I wanted to catch the rats I have no idea) so I clicked on the cheese thinking I would pick it up - well, I ate it I wasn't sure if it was rancid and would make me sick so I started that part over

Oh, I killed a few bunnie too and cats and thieves I did just about everything you weren't suppose to do
but I had a great time doing it.
I thought the same way about cheese-didn't look good, nope didn't try to catch a rat that one is totally yours
I'm so glad you're having a good time, believe me it only gets better and better

Playing Ghost Master - a real hoot of a game

Hi,

You can kill bunnies,frogs,bees,wasps,boars,wolves for experience points.
Boars,wolves will give you meat.
I am level 22 in all 3 games I am playing now and so far, there are very few dogs and cats in the area but they also give you meat if you need it.
Eating is part of this game but you can also buy you meat and bread from merchants.
If you press the letter C you can also equip your weapon and be ready for battle.
Left clicking will make you use your weapon and right clicking is for you magic.
First you have to decide which magic you will be using.
I use Meteorstrike a lot because it only costs 2 to use. The number changes as you get stronger in that magic.

Also, Lightning Strike is good on the Wardrummer's when you run into them. Remember to keep right-clicking to use your magical abilities on the wardrummers when you attack them. They have their own restoration powers that makes them invulnerable weapons. So, I wouldn't even bother attacking them up front and personal. The wardrummers work with the orcs. So, if you ever see one with the the orcs and you're not ready to attack it. The best thing to do is be a chicken and run away!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that little drummer boy was the first one I went after when I leveled up. I also discovered, quite by accident that if you in fact face him, not his back, you can kill him faster. I had one that chased me everywhere, even inside a tavern. Left me alone while I was-er-conducting business, but then chased me when I was done. Very polite these monsters, they let you do your business, rather it be talking, sleeping or picking up goodies then on you like a swarm of bees! And no one else seems to notice them!
Playing Ghost Master-a real screamer!

In the beginning stages, freeze is very good as well - since if you are attacked by something too tough, or too many of them, you can freeze and run!

Laughing at Nickie,
she's right when all else fails freeze them and run like the wind-or go over and beat them up! Me, I ran <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

Both games a true gems in the gaming world

Freeze and run - hey, I learned how to do that in Quest for Glory V. Finally a skill I know how to use

I got the drummer boy with the life leech spell. It's not a nice one, but it does the job. Suck the life out until he's almost gone and then hit him with freeze or whatever you have.

Ah oh I think I screwed up already. If you drop the teleporter stone down can you pick it back up and put is somewhere else? I put it down by the entrance to the catacombs and it transports me right into the middle of a hoard of skeleton archers and being the whimpy wizard that I am I die immediately I also stepped outside the gates and watched Sir Seth (I think that's his name) wipe out orcs and tell me to go back inside the gate. Can I wander around outside or will that tick Sir Seth off? There is gold sitting out there just waiting for me to pick it up and I can't find anything else to do inside except find the key to the catacomb and I can't find that critter anywhere.

Can one of you fine ex-DDer's give this poor lost wizard a nudge?

Oh I also got the gem from the healing shrine - should I have?

Oh again - I'm writing down most of the info found in the books - is it necessary? <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/pacify.gif" />

Nope, you don't need to write down a thing. Yes, you were supposed to take the gem - do you know why you need it? (You can heal one person with it, or...you can think about how to duplicate it to make two and get more points!- yell if you want a nudge, I think that's hard).
Next time you go outside the gates, Sir Whoozits won't say a thing. If you run into too many orcs, run back to him and he'll fight them with you (but you only get the points for the ones you kill yourself).
Are you saying you haven't figured out how to get into the main dungeon? One of the characters should give you a big clue (again, yell if you need a nudge).
Sure you can pick up the transporter again. If I'm understanding your question right - go to where it is, hit your space bar to pause the game if you want, drag the transporter back to your inventory and transport back to the other one.

Thanks nickie - I didn't know how to repick up the transporter - clicking on it transports you instead of picking it up like normal - I'll use the space bar and drag method.

Yep, I know I need a magic mirror in a pond to duplicate the gems - that's why I took it - figured I needed it to duplicate with. Now I need a pond

I got inside the catacombs (statues right?) There's a door down there that is locked and I can't find a key for it. Must have missed something somewhere.

I did run out of the gate and grab the gold but then went back inside. Maybe I'll venture out a bit more now that I know Sir Sethie won't get ticked at me

I also think I better do some more manual reading and more than that manual understanding (I am truly living up to my intelligence starting stats)

Yeah, I did the click on the transporter numerous times before I figured out the drag...You don't have to use the space bar, but it gives you a wee bit more time if you need it.
As best I recall, the mirror only works on one pond, but not hard to find.
Yep with the statues, I didn't know if you had done that or not. Not sure about the key - I know I picked up some in Mordaneus's house, but I can't remember if they were for the catacombs. If you don't find it soon, and no one answers, I'll restart a game to see. Hey, an excuse to play it again, LOL.
Sounds like you're doing just fine!

The image of you running grabbing the gold is priceless, thanks for sharing.
The Boneyard is fun and some areas easy and some very hard, but you'll beat those bad boys! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

Playing GhostMaster- it's a winner folks

Syd: About those locked doors in the dungeon or as PCE says the Boneyard, there are certain levers that open certain locked doors in the area. You just have to do some searching until you find a lever and then pull. It'll unlock a gate for you. Also, if you run into a floor tile with a star on it. Don't click it until you think you're ready. If you do, you'll be transported to a room with a skeleton baddy that's tougher than the warriors and archers. But, you'll get treasure in the end. Good luck!
